Chapter 10

Jack was restless, he couldn't help glancing backwards every few minuets. He narrowed his eyes, there it was again. The same black sedan. Of course there were lot of black sedan in the world, but it was highly unlikely this one followed them entirely accidentally. Kate turn down to a smaller side street, a few minuets ago saying it was faster.

Jack sense of uneasiness went up a notch. Maybe because the black sedan was gradually getting closer and closer, or maybe because the vicinity looked positively unwelcoming with its ruined, broken down factory buildings and desolated streets.

"Kate."

"Yes?!" she glanced back toward him, her expression questioning. Jack wasn't sure how to approach her with his suspicious. He opted to the direct answer, even if he someway let on his secret, he could easily cover up it later. Better safe then sorry. If his suspicious was right they were in danger.

"That car is following us since Uncle Gibbs' house." Jack could clearly see in the rearview-mirror as Agent Todd furrowed her brow as in concentration to try to remember if she saw the car before. But before she could answer, another car slammed in to their vehicle from one of the side street. The impact sent their car straight to the closest building's wall.

At the time the car stopped, Jack get free from the seat-belt, he climbed on the first seat where his temporary babysitter laid unconsciously, she had a deep gash on the side of her head. She must have hit her head when their car get knocked into the wall. With a quick backwards glance, he surveyed their attackers position. Two man in black commando outfit just got out of the van while two more man joined them from the car which followed them.

Jack had no doubt he could escape easily, if he leave Kate behind, but it wasn't an opinion. He shake her shoulder to wake her, she stirred and opened her slightly unfocused brown eyes.

"We need to go, Kate." He sounded urgent and desperate, which wasn't a surprise he didn't wanted to became a lab rat at so young, or at all. He saw her gaze widen as she remembered where they were exactly and why. She tried to open her safety belt without much success, her movement and coordination was a bit off. Most probably consciousness thought Jack. He had his own pleasant experience on this field to knew when he see one. Jack help to open the belt and urged her to try to pry open the door or the window. The door didn't bulged, so Kate get down the window.

Kate was mostly out of the car when one of the brute hitched up the passenger side door, making a grab for Jack. Who kicked out, hitting the man in jaw. The attacker wavered backwards for a moment. It was enough leeway for Jack to pull himself outside with Kate's help. They started to run almost instantly toward one of the side alley where in Jack hope they can disappeared or get more leeway until the rescue team arrived.

The other attackers seemed to came to their sense, seeing their simply 'grab and take' operation taken an unexpected turn. They pulled out their guns, aiming at Kate, they fired a few shot, before their fugitive duo managed to reach the corner.

There were a bad news and a good news. The good news was that they were out of the fire range for now, the bad news was that they were in a blind alley. Without really thinking Jack pulled Kate toward one of the broken window of the factory. She pulled Jack back toward herself when he wanted to kick out the remaining piece of glass. She took up a metal rode from the floor and knocked out the glass. They just get inside when their persuaders arrived in the alley.

Kate pulled out her own gun, she fired a few shot too, made their attackers to retreat. Her gaze never leaving the men in the alley's entrance as she spoken. "Run Jack, try to get out of here." Jack needed to fight his instincts to obey her order, he hesitated before he made up his mind. They need to call a back-up, now.

"Give me your phone." Her brown eyes flicked at him, while she fired another round, "To call for help." Jack added explanatory. A few shot hit the wall near where they kneeled. She hurriedly pulled out her cell and passed it to Jack.

"Now run." She ordered. Jack know he would be underfoot without a gun, so he obeyed and started to run. The ground level was barren, not leaving any place to hid or to protect them, so Jack opted to run toward the stairs, hoping to find more thing to use up there. He could hear as she fired a shot.

-------

Kate fired a shot and looked down at her gun. It was almost empty, she had another clip in her pocket, and that's all. She would be out of ammo. Kate made up her mind and called after Jack "I will be shortly after you." Jack nodded as he hurried up the stairs. One of the man slowly get out from behind the building's covering. Kate assumed they thought they run away or get out of ammo, which wasn't too far from the truth. She waited patiently, for the man to get closer, she wanted to get the odds a bit more even. She licked her lip and fired, her target went down. She got up fast and sprinted after Jack. Hoping the other attackers would think twice before attempting another attack.

---------

Jack was up on the first floor. It looked as empty and barren as the ground level. He sprinted toward to another stairway which most probably lead to the roof. He heard Caitlin's running footstep as she was heading toward him. He got on the top, opened the door and found himself facing a man in black suit, with a malicious expression on his face. The only thing came to Jack's mind was "Shit!"

--------------

The man smirked at him, his eyes glinted with cruelty as he moved to grab Jack. Only by years of honed skill as a solder helped Jack to take hold of the man's hand as he was about to grab him. He pressed his fingers into the man's palm between his thumb and index finger, while he twisted the man's hand backwards. Causing the man to fall to his knee from pain.

The man snarled at him and trusted his other hand toward Jack. Its only peripherally registered in Jack's mind that something glinted in that hand, as he stepped back by instinct.

His luck helped in too, as he stepped back suddenly there wasn't any where to step back, he fallen backwards, pulling down with him the larger man. As he rolled down the stairs he thought he heard Kate calling his name. He grabbed the rail as he collide with it.

The other man wasn't that lucky with a thunderous thud he landed on the floor, his head stood in an unnatural angel. He stared down at the died body on the floor, and slowly the shock set in. He really didn't understand why it, this death shocked him so much, faint tremors started run thought his body. From his momentarily stupor, Kate's arrival to his side, brought him back. She picked him up and carried him out to the roof.

Jack breath slowed down, his hart stopped racing, and the faint tremors became almost nonexistent. He wriggled in her arms.

"I am fine. You can put me down now." She studied him, he momentarily felt like under Doc's inquisitor gaze.

"Alright." She nodded as she put him down. They run to the other side of the roof. The next building, there looked to be the closest. Only a few feet separate the two building, and a thin plank was placed on the roofs' side which linked the two building together. They looked down, the alley looked a bit far. A good 15 meter/30 feet or so away.

"Its not that high." Kate looked at him in disbelieve, he looked back at her innocently. Before he grinned at her.

"Come on." He nodded toward the plank, she shook her hand in denial.

"No, no way. I don't go through on that." Jack just rolled his eyes, as he climbed up on the railing.

"It's not that we have a lot of other opinion."

They walked through the plank, Jack admitted if only just to himself it wasn't really easy. The plank moved with every step he made, Kate pressed down her weight onto the end to try to stabilize the plank, when it was Kate's turn. It went even harder, Jack done his best but his present weight do nothing much to help. The plank even gave out breaking noise at the end.

They hid in the ventilator shaft, when they heard their remainder persecutors get on the roof. They could hear their words from the other roof.

"I will kill them both."

"No we need the boy alive."

"That bitch won't get away, and if I have my way neither the boy."

"Are you deaf I told you we need him alive or the boss will had our hide. Now stop bitching and start looking. Before I put you out of your misery myself." Snarled one of them.

Kate exchanged a look with Jack. Jack's gaze widen as he started to search for her cell, it was in his jacket's pocket. He pulled out what was left of the phone. He looked up at her with big puppy-dog eyes and said.

"Hups." It was her turn to roll her eyes.

"Give me, that maybe it's still working." She take the cell, some piece fallen off it and the display window was shattered. She pressed down 5, it was Gibbs's number on her fast-call list. She put the cell to her ear and prayed for it to work. She thank God when Gibbs' phone started to ring out. She blow out a breath in relief when she heard his voice.

"Gibbs."
